| these days i'm not sure anything would use xwayland, and I'd like to know about it if it did, but I haven't disabled it | 08:55:15 | |
| not even for x11 forwarding that I recall using in a long time, mostly waypipe is fine | 08:56:47 | |
| I run sway with a custom tmux-inspired window switcher. Hitting tab gives me all the into on window/workspace/display, including whether it runs xwayland or xdg_shell. These days steam is the only thing running xwayland. | 09:03:14 | |
| And freecad, by default - needs freecad-qt6 or freecad-wayland... | 09:04:01 | |
| Isn't Nvidia one of the main reasons for people still on Xorg nowadays? | 15:55:20 | |
| There's no real data on this either so 🥲 | 15:55:46 | |
| a11y is also a big reason afaik. | 16:45:33 | |
In reply to @sigmasquadron:matrix.orgYes, that too, but that's a desktop-agnostic issue, not just related to GNOME | 17:26:23 | |
| I think DIY distributions like NixOS should still offer the xorg session until it's fully deprecated in upstream. | 17:28:24 | |
| It also allows for nixpkgs to alert users of GNOME xorg session removal | 17:28:59 | |
| Since afaik the release notes for 25.05 do not mention this so nixpkgs would be rug-pulling users who do use the xorg session if it were to happen in 25.11 | 17:31:59 | |
| I also believe that plasma 6 still allows users to explicitly select the xorg session. | 17:32:48 | |
| That's just my thoughts | 17:34:06 | |
| I don't believe the release notes are expected to predict every breaking change that will happen in the following release. That's what that release's notes are for. | 17:34:14 | |
In reply to @normalcea:matrix.orgsince plasma 6.4, that's only possible if kwin-x11 is installed, otherwise the session is broken. | 17:34:30 | |
| but it's still installed by default until upstream KDE tells distros to stop shipping it, which will only happen in Plasma 7. | 17:35:22 | |
In reply to @sigmasquadron:matrix.orgI see | 17:35:52 | |

Good news: I finally faced this issue again. Bad news: idk which extension it is: burn-my-windows, compiz-windows-effect. | 16:07:56 | |
| I also don't know if there are any other ones that are bad. | 16:18:30 | |
| * I also don't know if there are any other ones that are bad. But at least I got something after all this time. | 16:18:44 | |
| Well turn them off one by one and see? | 16:34:09 | |
| hi | 17:19:13 | |
| for some reason the default gnome keyring is not unlocking on login, neither by password nor by fingerprint (and the password should be the same as the login one) | 17:19:57 | |
| it does do it on my desktop, but on my laptop it does not | 17:20:17 | |
| both are nixos with almost exactly the same definitions, modulo some hardware differences | 17:20:37 | |
| I'm seeing this weird error in
| 17:22:07 | |
| nor which logs would be helpful to debug | 17:22:20 | |
| any tips? I've taken a look into every issue in discourse mentioning
| 17:25:26 | |
